THE ATLANTA NEGROES.
They Will Be Represented in the

ATLANTA. Ga, Nov. 30.-The prOmi-

ing the prohibition campaign has in

more distinction in local politics. They

i've sideS. who took occasion TO impress
them with the importance of their posi-

officially settled negroes have announced
themselves as candidates for the city
council This is but the OutgrOwth of
the assurances given them by the anti
Prohibitionists in return for their sup
port of the wet ballot; at least that is
what the ''prohi's" argue. The move
ment has created considerable feeling
among the white people, and especially
among the Prohibitionists, who attribute
this extraordinary step on the part of
the negroes to the encouragement given
them by the 'antis." The negroes will
vote solidly for the candidates of their
color, and it would not be surprising to
see one, at least, elected to the city
council, which is composed of but six

keep out the cold, though many
avenues of penetration We're
still left exposed. The mere exterior
of the place was a standing illustration
of Misery" but what was it compared
to the scene that met the gaze of the
two visitors within? The room was
barely large enough for one person to
live in. to say nothing of five. Two
wretched beds, rickety stove, one
chair, table and a few worn. boxes
were all the room contained. On one
of the beds lay the mans poor old
mother, apparently about SlXty-five
years of age, suffering from sickness OF
long duration and
HUNGER AND COLD.
She was unable TO speak. Seated be-
side the stove, with scarcely enough fire
to keep them warm, was the poor, pa
tient wife. whom long suffering had
made lhin and gaunt. Upon her knee
was little thirteen-months-old
babe, dirty and miserable, while
pitiful look appeared on its thin face.
It's eyes were SNOllCli
famed with cold and the only clothes
it had on were little chemise and pair
of socks. The mother tried to keep 1t
warm with her own skirts. The chill
dren were wonderfully dirty, for the
reason that it would be dangerous to
wash them when so exposed to the cold
weather. On the table was another in
FAINT that reached out its tiny hand to
the reporter cOnfdingly. and smiled a
feeble welcome. The mother had not
the professional whine, but tried to
smile and look cheerful while the two
visitors were there. The husband and
father, manly. honest-looking Swede,
showed deep traces of anxiety and want.
He has faithfully hunted for work.to no
avail, and trampS many miles
a day looking for it. The wife should
be in bed. but, while her husband hunts
for work. she must be up to attend the
children and her old mother. In the
midst OF all this wretchednesS and filth
there rests deep affection for one an
other extremely pathetic to gaze upon.
Another smart drive brought the visit
OrS to the rooms Of the two working
girls who so kindly cared Tor old Mrs.
Coward, OH Seventh street. The heroic
conduct OF the two eStimable young
ladies has put the old lady on her feet
again, and she works all day in fixing
their dresses and keeping the rooms
nice and clean in gratitude. She is an
admirable hOGSekeeper. Thus ended
the trip for one day.

ALONG PIPE LINE,
The Standard Oil Company Has a
Big Scheme on Hand.

TOLEDO, O., Nov. 3O.-A gigantic
scheme of the Standard Oil company,
involving millions of dollars, has just
been unearthed here. 1t is nothing
more nor less than a grand trunk pipe
line from Chicago to New York by way
of the Ohio and Pennsylvania oil fields.
The pipe line, when completed, will be
nearly LOCO miles long and will cost at
least S5,0O0,OOO. 1t will connect the
Ohio and the Pennsylvania fields, and
oil can be piped eastward or westward,
as desired. The Standard company has
already commenced to lease the right of
way through Ohio and Indiana. Thou
sands of the best oil lands have been Sc
cured, and the intention is to develop
and test all the country between Chi
cago and Lima. o. The step was made
necessary by the high railroad rates
consequent upon the carrying into eff
feet of the interstate commerce law, and
the intention of the Standard company
is to utilize the oil piped to Chicago for
fuel as we'll as for Illuminating pur-

and in this way they prevailed on many
time checks at discounts rang
ing from 5 to 20 per cent.
Rather an amusing incident in connec-
ton with the attachment of the coil of
wire took place yesterday afternoon;
The sheriff upon his appearance said
that if we would promise not to remove
the property seized he would allow it to
remain where it was until to-day.
Otherwise he would attach it to his
sleigh and drag it up the the court
house. As it required sixteen horses
nearly an entire day to haul the coil IN
question, which weighs forty tons, to Its
present resting place, we had to laugh
at the consideration of the sheriff"

FAVORS THE VILLAGE.

A Decision of the Attorney Gen
eral Over a Dispute in Murray
County.
Recently a township and village in
Murray county have been having con-
siderable trouble. 1t seems that they
elect officers jointly in the spring and in
any road and bridge Improvements the
expense is borne by both. 1t seems that
there is no law compelling the village to
aid in this expense and a letter was
written to Attorney General Clapp ask
ing his opinion. The opinion of Mr..
Clapp rather works to the disadvantage
of the townships, though at variance
with the custom heretofore observed.
The attorney general says in his opin-
ion: The general village provides that
no part of the streets or highways of
any village shall be in any road district
established by the town board. This
being the case there is no question but
what the village is exempt from town
ship tax for road purposes. As to
whether or not the village can recover
what it has heretofore paid is a matter
which l do not think your office would
be called upon to determine.

WILL soon KILL HOGS

And Other Fatted Stock at the Big
Packing Houses at South st.
Paul,
The stock yards at South st. Paul are
nearly ready to be put in full operation.
On alighting from the motor yesterday,
a GLOBE reporter had the pleasure of
meeting c. 0. Burchim, very genial
gentleman in his way, who kindly
threw out few pointers regarding the
mammoth concern Just referred to. In
answer to an inquiry, he said: mo,
the packing houses are not ready to
begin operations, although the yard
proper has been ready for some time.
We are waiting for the arrival of some
machinery from Chicago, which
causes the delay. | expect that
all work will be completed
by the 18th or 10th of this month, and
the 1st of January will see the first I'M
fortunate hog started on his giddy tour
to death and destruction. Since Sept.
we have handled 10000 head of cattle.
We are feeding 5000 sheep at present.
Our ward capacity is about as follows:
5000 cattle, 1900 hogs, and 5000
sheep. There are twenty-eight loading
and twenty-eight unloading shuteS. A
visit was then made to the fertilizing
building, the killing room, chilling
room and refrigerator room of the pork
house, beef houses and ice houses, and
everything found to be in first-class
shape. "0n a good day." said Mr..
Burchim, 1--WE can dispose of from $500
to 1000 hogs. We can kill from 800 to
700 head of cattle per day at the beef
house. This plant has been pronounced
by experts as the most complete in the
United States. You would scarcely be-
lieye it, but million and half dollars
has been expended on this stock yards
